DISH Pause


For $5/mo you can pause your service rather than cancelling. This can help you avoid cancellation fees and the hassle of reinstalling.
 

If you’ve used DISH Pause before, you can manage your pause status online.
 

If you need the option to pause your account, give us a call at 1-800-333-3474.
